<p><font color="Gray">Source: irontongue.blogspot.com --- Wednesday, April 29, 2015</font><br />I tweeted my last post, the one about the Pulitzer Prize and the graphs that someone anonymous posted elsewhere on the web. Joshua Kosman was politely skeptical about the value of the data, noting the small data set of 20. Well, there's only one winner annually, so.... So I dug up a file sent to me a few years ago, a file containing the jurors from 1943 to 2007, and I started making up a spreadsheet. It isn't quite complete, but as of today, the spreadsheet shows the winning work and composer and the jurors for each year. I've also indicated which composers serving on a jury are also Pulitzer winners. A few things stand out, assuming I've gotten everything right. Chalmers Clifton served on every jury from 1943 to 1960. The Word doc I have claims that he was the only juror in 1947. I hope that is a mistake in the Word file, even though the Pulitzer went to Ives's third symphony. (Who was Clifton? A composer. Has anyone reading this heard any of his music? If so, what is it like?) Robert Ward served on 16 (!) juries between 1954 and 2004 (!). Because there are so many repeat jurors, only 106 jurors have served in the 73 years since music was added to the <b>Pulitzers</b>. The first woman to serve was Miriam Gideon in 1975. Since then, Ellen Taafe Zwilich, Vivan Fine, Joan Tower, Melinda Wagner, Shulamit Ran, Ingrid Monson, Maria Schneider, Anne Midgette, Jennifer Higdon, Carol Oja, Caroline Shaw, and Julia Wolfe have served. That's 13 of ...</p>http://irontongue.blogspot.com/2015/04/more-on-pulitzers.htmlThu, 30 Apr 2015 01:37:00 GMTEditorial: 100 years of Pulitzershttp://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/editorials/20150429-editorial-100-years-of-pulitzers.ece

<p><font color="Gray">Source: wicknews.wordpress.com --- Friday, April 24, 2015</font><br />The Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C., received a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service last week. The newspaper highlighted the plight of women in a series called, “Till Death Do Us Part.” South Carolina is among the deadliest places for a woman to live in these United States and the newspaper’s work put that fact front and center. The Wall Street Journal won a Pulitzer for its investigative series that pulled back the curtains on Medicare. For the first time ever, readers were able to judge for themselves the motivations and practices of their healthcare providers. Three reporters at the Daily Breeze in Torrance, Calif., took the top prize for Local Reporting after they wrote about the widespread corruption in a small local school district. From the Daily Breeze story announcing the award: “It’s about having an institution, no matter how small it is, that will support you,” said Rob Kuznia, now a former Daily Breeze reporter and one of three singled out for the Local Reporting prize. He said the award represents what encouragement and support can do, even in the smallest of newsrooms. … “It is a testament to the importance of good old-fashioned beat reporting,” he said. “I couldn’t have done that story without everyone here. We have a tiny staff on the one hand, but everybody had the presence of mind to know we had a really good story.” In all, Pulitzer judges gave out 14 awards for truly exemplary journalism over the last year. ...</p>https://wicknews.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/5386/Fri, 24 Apr 2015 15:36:00 GMTSports gets snubbed by Pulitzers, againhttp://www.shermanreport.com/sports-gets-snubbed-by-pulitzers-again/
<p><font color="Gray">Source: www.shermanreport.com --- Friday, April 24, 2015</font><br />An excerpt from my latest column for Poynter: ******* Dave Anderson remains a member of a very small fraternity of Pulitzer Prize-winning sports reporters and columnists. Only three columnists have been cited: Besides Anderson, Arthur Daley of the New York Times [1956], Red Smith of the New York Times [1976] and Jim Murray of the Los Angeles Times [1990]. On the reporting side in recent years, George Dohrmann of the St. Paul Pioneer Press won in 2000 for his reports of fraud in the Minnesota basketball program. Ira Berkow shared the 2001 Pulitzer for national reporting for his article “The Minority Quarterback” in a New York Times series on race in America. The next sports Pulitzer winner wasn’t until 2013 when John Branch of the New York Times won for feature writing for a story on skiers killed in an avalanche. … Continue Reading ...</p>http://www.shermanreport.com/sports-gets-snubbed-by-pulitzers-again/Fri, 24 Apr 2015 13:22:00 GMTAnd while we are on the subject of Pulitzershttp://freefromeditors.blogspot.com/2015/04/and-while-we-are-on-subject-of-pulitzers.html

Good reporters are forced to leave because the folks in charge believe that good journalists will work for fast food wages.

<p><font color="Gray">Source: www.yorkblog.com --- Tuesday, April 21, 2015</font><br />I was super excited Monday when Pulitzer Administrator Mike Pride announced the 2015 winners . Why? Because I served as a juror in the local reporting category. It was an honor to be asked to serve on a jury for the second year in a row. Last year, I judged the feature writing category. I’m happy to say that one of my top choices received this year’s award. It went to Rob Kuznia, Rebecca Kimitch and Frank Suraci of the Daily Breeze in Torrance, Calif. Their work uncovered widespread corruption in a school district that served one of the poorest communities in Los Angeles County. Through their dogged reporting and tenacity, they dug deep and what they found was jaw-dropping. They discovered the superintendent had: amassed $663,000 in compensation taken out a district-funded $750,000 whole life insurance policy without board approval and then had the board approve it retroactively steered lucrative contracts to political allies managed to get a contracted work year of 215 days, 30 days shorter than other superintendents, which meant he was paid overtime for “extra” time he worked. Additionally, he claimed he had worked every legal holiday and had never taken a vacation day throughout his tenure, resulting in even more pay. Investigators found that was highly unlikely. I could go on, but you get the idea. Based on their coverage, the FBI and Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office launched criminal investigations. The superintenden ...</p>http://www.yorkblog.com/ydrinsider/2015/04/21/judging-the-pulitzers/Tue, 21 Apr 2015 20:20:00 GMTThe Pulitzers as a Window on our Worldhttp://bobonbooks.com/2015/04/21/the-pulitzers-as-a-window-on-our-world/
